The date is middle of December. As for who will take over, the TT board here (possibly together with the TF site) should decide that. I have no people in mind.

As to how the takeover will happen, I'm not sure, I've never done it. The new person should be able to take over the domain with my permission, but if that somehow doesn't work then they can always register a new domain.

All the inputting on the TF side is done by one person (not me) - but there's also a few of us who are happy to contribute funding if needed.

Are you OK if I post a notice about this in TF as well to see if there's someone over there who might be able to do this?

What is the current situation re:this database? It's far too valuable a tool to be lost.

It quite concerns me that it was quite a while ago that you've said you're not continuing after the current period ends but it doesn't appear that anything concrete seems to have happened with no plans for a definite takeover since I last looked at this here, and time must be ticking by.

Is there a set date that there someone (who understands technical stuff) has to be in place ready to do whatever to take over?

And what exactly then needs to be done - you to know/have a contact of who will take it over?

For my motivation to help, unfortunately, there is a big connection between those two things. I am not talking about the data transfer, but the general situation.

For me, the value of updating another couple of months is not very high, when everything will be lost at the end of the year.
Since it makes no big difference for my workload, if we update it now or later, I prefer to help, when I can be sure that it's not worthless a couple of months later.

Whether or not Thunderfish8 will code a new website has nothing to do with the updating this one. All the results will get transferred so we need to keep it updated. I'll ask him about the new website again later, maybe he'll get it started over the summer... no promises there though.
